Chromium-Based Spinoffs Worth Trying

Posted by samzenpus on from the best-of-the-lot dept.

snydeq writes "InfoWorld's Serdar Yegulalp takes an in-depth look at six Chromium-based spinoffs that bring privacy, security, social networking, and other interesting twists to Google's Chrome browser. 'When is it worth ditching Chrome for a Chromium-based remix? Some of the spinoffs are little better than novelties. Some have good ideas implemented in an iffy way. But a few point toward some genuinely new directions for both Chrome and other browsers.'"

    I know, those names are so weird and have no relation to web-browsing.

    Excuse me while I use Chrome, Firefox, and Opera.

    Chrome's UI is not the most intuitive but I like how minimalistic it is, and how it saves the most amount of screen space for the actual task at hand: viewing web pages.
